For the Fan-Tastic Vent Fan model 6300 there could be two reasons why it's not opening for you:

The manual crank motor could be broken, which the correct replacement is the Replacement 17-rpm Lift Motor for Fan-Tastic Vent B Series Roof Vents with Powered Lifts - White Item # FVK6010-81.
One note about this replacement is that this replacement motor is designed for use in Fan-Tastic Vent roof vents with 17-rpm motors manufactured in 2014 or after. If your fan is of a lower rpm or manufactured before 2014, this motor will still work, but you will need to cross the wires. For example, instead of red to red and black to black, you will need to connect the red wire to the black wire and the the black wire to the red wire.

The other reason the vent could not be opening could be that the arm is broken, which the correct replacement is the Replacement Lift Arm for Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vents Item # FVK8011-05.
